This is why many older forms of growth hormone have been discontinued and replaced with newer drugs.

Most Common Side Effects

Some of the most common side effects associated with synthetic growth hormone like Somatrem include but are not limited to:

Pain felt in the joints

asab og'riq (can be localized or spread along an entire nerve pathway)

shish – this is caused by trapped fluid in the body’s cells. This fluid causes a puffy look that’s most noted in the face, qorin, and when severe, causes swelling of the extremities, mostly noticed in the hands, fut, and ankles

Prickly sensations on the skin. This can be localized or large spread. Synthetic growth hormone such as Somatrem can also cause numbness on the surface of the skin

More serious reactions to synthetic growth hormone are not readily visible but can affect overall health and wellness.

Because Somatrem andother growth hormone productscan interfere with metabolic function, it can negatively increase levels of “yomon” or low-density lipoprotein known as LDL cholesterol.

Increased levels of low-density lipoprotein over that of the good cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein/HDL) can cause cardiovascular damage, hardening of the arteries, and an increased risk for heart attack or stroke.

Developing diabetes is also possible due to Somatrem and other growth hormone’s impact on metabolism and the body’s blood sugar levels.
